Iriomote Island - Gora River (Shira River)
What is Gora River?
The Gora River offers a panoramic view of mangrove forests on a gentle S curve.
In summer, sagaribana with the sweet scent of vanilla can be seen.
The gradual narrowing of the mangrove river from near the mouth is a must-see photo opportunity, and there is also a viewing platform that can be used as a break from the drive.
